The double-flowered garden chrysanthemum Jolly Cheryl™ bears masses of deep coral-pink blooms on upright, bushy, 8- to 12-inch (20 to 30 cm) plants. The 1.5- to 2-inch-wide (4 to 5 cm) blooms appear in early fall. Plants grown under artificial conditions can be "forced" into flower at other seasons. Cultivars in the Cheryl™ Series were introduced by Yoder Brothers of Barberton, Ohio.

The showy blooms and pungent, lobed leaves of garden chrysanthemums are staples of the autumn flower garden....

Developed for the cut flower trade, the chrysanthemum 'Kent' produces sprays of double, white, cream-centered blossoms on sturdy, upright, 36- to 40-inch (90 to 100 cm) stems. The 3.5-inch-wide (8 to 8.5 cm), many-petaled blooms appear in summer and autumn under "natural" conditions, but greenhouse-grown specimens can be brought into flower at other seasons. This vegetatively propagated mum was introduced by Yoder Brothers of Barberton, Ohio.

The florists' chrysanthemum 'Kermit' bears branching sprays of green, white-tinged, pompon-shaped blooms above clumps of deeply lobed, pungently scented leaves. Plants grow to 3 to 4 feet (90 to 120 cm) high and wide, and flower for several weeks in mid-fall. This pompon chrysanthemum is typically grown for the cut flower trade, but it can also be used as a garden plant in USDA Hardiness Zones 7 to 9.

The florists' chrysanthemum 'Kishinonishi' is grown for its autumn display of large, narrow-petaled, golden yellow blooms. The spidery blooms are borne above clumps of deeply lobed, pungently scented leaves. Plants grow to 3 to 4 feet (90 to 120 cm) high and wide, and flower for several weeks in mid-fall. This spider chrysanthemum is typically grown in containers for show or for cutting, but it can also be used as a garden plant in USDA Hardiness Zones 7 to 9.

The chrysanthemum 'Kory' produces numerous large, double, bright yellow blossoms on dense, mounded, 10- to 16-inch (25 to 40 cm) plants. The 3.5- to 4-inch-wide (9 to 10 cm), many-petaled blooms appear in autumn under "natural" conditions, but greenhouse-grown plants will flower about 8 weeks after 2 weeks of "long-night" treatment (13.5 hours or more). This vegetatively propagated mum was introduced by Yoder Brothers of Barberton, Ohio. It is grown and sold as a seasonal pot plant.

Like most bedding (or "decorative") mums, 'Lemon Parfait' prefers full sun and a fertile, well-drained growing medium. Although nominally hardy to USDA Hardiness Zone 6, it is typically used as a seasonal annual. Pinch plants back in late spring or early summer...

Developed for use as a cut flower, 'Limit' produces long-lasting sprays of white, green-eyed "daisies" on tall stems. The 2.5- to 3-inch-wide (6.5 to 7.5 cm), single to semi-double blooms appear in autumn under "natural" conditions, but greenhouse-grown specimens will flower 8 weeks after 2 weeks of "long-night" treatment (13.5 hours or more). This vegetatively propagated mum was introduced by Yoder Brothers of Barberton, Ohio.

The double creamy-white blooms of Linda™ White have pale yellow centers and add a bright touch to the fall garden. Like other decorative mums, it is a heavy-flowering selection that adopts a uniform cushion habit.
